ALESSANDRA PETRILLO

DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES

Hometown:  Martigny, Switzerland 

Professional Background before Last Key:  I have worked at the front office of several hotels in both Europe and Key West. I'm a proud WSU graduate.

I ended up in Key West very randomly; after I graduated from college I found a one-year internship at a hotel in Key West.  I loved it so much that I made it happen again two years later and never left.  Going on my 4th year of calling Key West home.

Why Key West?  At first, I didn't know where I was going just that I was going to be in Florida for a year. After moving here and experiencing Key West, how could I leave?  All the locals are so welcoming, you get to meet people from all over the world.  You can walk or bike all around the island and easily get to all of your favorite spots.  It just feels right!  Add the beautiful weather into the mix and how can you ask for more?

Favorite Restaurant in Key West:  That's the most difficult question!  Key West has an amazing food scene, it's a food lover's paradise.  But if I have to make a choice (under torture): Breakfast at Pepe's, lunch at Hogfish, happy hour at the Boathouse and dinner at OnlyWood.

Favorite Key West Activity:  Simply being out on the water, watching the sunset and eating around town.

Why Last Key Realty?  I was ready for something different from the hotel scene.  Last Key has been the most welcoming company I've had the privilege to work for.  I'm excited for the possibilities, I can't wait to see where it takes me!
